Next-gen suppressor technology. @SciencePew is to the suppressor industry as the UFC was to traditional martial arts. When a field gets tested for real, you find out quickly what actually works. There are a few problems we’re excited to see solved: 1. Cost. Three pounds of Inconel 718 costs around $120. By the time that’s machined down into a one-pound suppressor, the retail price is 10x higher. There’s a lot of room for improvement there. We’re looking for design, manufacturing, and supply chain improvements that bring prices down dramatically for top-quality cans. 2. New designs. CAT came out of nowhere with a low-back-pressure can that had minimal tradeoffs. Reflex cans, integral cans, and other old ideas have mostly not yet been revisited by modern suppressor startups. Additive manufacturing, computational fluid dynamics, and AI-aided design are still in their relative infancy in the field. And this is all happening against a backdrop where silencer sales increased 80% last year and consumers have never been more interested. There are likely large performance gains still undiscovered. 3. Mounts. The HUB system has improved things a bit, but a layperson still cannot reliably mount a suppressor, let alone do so without specialized tools.
